Ch.16- You're Not You

You're Next My Love II

Haeun's POV:

*Next Morning at the Airport*

"Wow," was all I could manage to say as my eyes scanned the crowd of fans already waiting at the airport. How do they find out about these things so fast.....it's so early in the morning too....

"There's more of them today don't you think?" Luhan spoke to Minseok who was gathering his things together. 

"They grow every time we come to the airport..." Tao frowned. 

"How many do you think are sasaengs?" Jongdae joked, but no one laughed. There seemed to be a lot of tension filling the car as the members thought about the best way to avoid any type of conflict with the fans. They were all tired and they had enough on their plate as it is.

"Ready?" Sungwoo called out to the boys as he unbuckled his seat. His eyes fell on Kris who was gazing out the tinted window as if he was day dreaming about something.

"Yeah..." Kris muttered in his deep coarse voice starting to move around a little. I glanced at Sungwoo unsure of what I was suppose to do, but his confident gaze said it all. He had told me the night before that all I had to do, was stick close to two of the members and keep my back towards the fans. 

I was scared of course. I had seen may videos and pictures of the boys being harassed and pushed down. I remember when I read an article where Luhan was grabbed and the fans didnt let go, but it always seemed to me that Chanyeol and Baekhyun were always around them to help them out. None of them ever threw fits about the incidents because they were idols. What could they do to their fans? There was one time when Tao spoke out against the sasaeng fans, but no one took him seriously. What these boys have to go through everyday makes me wonder if the faces they've shown to me were real or not.

"1-2-----3," Sungwoo called out as we both opened our doors and Sungwoo made his way to my side. We both opened the door for the boys and surrounded them immeditally. Other staff from near by also came to help since Sungwoo and I could only cover so many people. To count, there was at least 12 bodyguards just protecting the boys. The shorter ones usually stood behind the taller ones in case they were to get lost. In my case, I had Luhan and Yixing to cover and since Luhan was taller, he stood at the front, but what troubled me wasn't that.

What troubled me was that if I got too close, they would both notice me. So I had to be a manager and help them to their plane, but I also had to stay hidden and becareful. 

"OMO OPPA!!!!"

"LUHAN-OPPA!"

"XIUMINNIE!"

"CHEN CHEN-AH!!"

"KYAAAAAAAA!"

I was literally getting pressed into the two boys as the fans started to push and scream. All around us bright flashes from cameras and phones blinded our eyes as we walked. Ahead of us was Kris and Minseok. Sungwoo had those two covered alone with 2 other staffs covering the left side and front to lead the way. Behind us was Tao and Jongdae who seemed to be rather uncomfortable and tried to keep their faces hidden from the blinking lights. 

"Are you guys okay?" I whispered to both Luhan and Yixing who had their heads low and focused. 

"Neh, thank you," Luhan replied not even giving me a glance. 

"Yes, thank you...it must be hard on you since you're a girl..." Yixing spoke with a hint of concern in his voice. I couldn't help but smile a little at his worried voice. As always....being a very caring person is what I've always loved about you Yixing.

"We're almost there, don't worry," I assured the two of them as they nodded and we continued to struggle or way through the crowd. We finally got to the gate where the boys would be going on the plane, but somehow while they were getting their passports checked in, the crowd of fans grew larger and I soon found myself being pushed back further and further away from Sungwoo and the members.

"Wait! No! Please don't push!" I tried to yell, but my voice was drowned out by the screams of the girls wanting to see their idols. I was being elbowed and kicked around be the many fans who were taller and stronger than I was. Their sweaty bodies all trying to get good angles of the boys made me feel claustraphobic Before I knew it, someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me out of the large crowd. I was being dragged along to the luggage area where few people were and had to stop the person from running to catch my breath. 

Still panting a little, I looked to see who had dragged me out of that hot mess and felt my cheeks burn. Immeditally, I yanked my hand away and stepped back feeling my throat tighten up.

"Hey," Jongin looked at me with a straight face his mouth partly open to slow down his breathing. "That could've gone very wrong if I hadn't saved you back there."

"I didn't ask you to save me," I mumbled stepping further and further away from him. Ever since our last encounter, I knew something about him was different. The look in his eyes that used to hold love and care was now filled with emptiness and lust.

"HAEUN!" I heard Sungwoo call my name. I was about to call back, but was cut off again by Jongin who covered my mouth and made run somewhere even further away in an even more isolated place. My muffled screams against his palm made me panick horribly as I realized we were dragged into the entrance of a family bathroom.

I pulled Jongin's hands off my mouth roughly and yelled,"What do you think you're doing Jongin?!"

I could barely catch my breath as my heart beat raced wildly just looking at him from head to toe. He was in a grey hoodie, his black hair sprawled all over his forehead as sweat trickled down his side burns. He had black sweats on and an old pair of converse.

"Sorry..." he spoke in a soft voice. "I just wanted to be alone with you."

I stared at him with confusion as an unwanted memory pushed its way to my mind. It reminded me of the first time Jongin and I had met in secret.

*FLASHBACK*

"Where is he..." I muttered pulling my hoodie over my head and pacing around the back ally of the park. Jongin had wanted to meet up for a late picnic date, but it was hard for even myself to get out of the house without my parents yelling at me. 

"Haeun!" I heard a familiar voice call my name. I turned around and saw Jongin running towards me carrying a basket. A smile crept on my face as I speed walked to meet him and embraced him in a hug. He was warm like a giant heating pack.

"W-wait! I'm sweaty!" he whispered urgently. "Let go!!"

"Okay okay," I released him as he sank down to the ground holding the basket. Sweat trickled down his neck as he pulled down his hood. His hair was a mess, but I loved it like that. He smiled at me as he held up the basket with a childish smile plastered on his face.

"Ready for our first date?" he spoke cheekly with a grin that made my heart skip many beats.

"Of course," I replied sitting down next to him. We had both worn our matching converse in which we both drew a little symbol on our shoes to match with each other. 

*End of Flashback*

I couldn't help but look down and look for the mark I had drawn back then and sure enough it was there. The small little square bunny with my initials on it.

"Haeun!" I heard Sungwoo's voice as I snappe out of my memory.

"Sung-" Before I could finish my sentence, Sungwoo pulled me into a tight hug surprising me. I could hear him breathing hard. How did he find me so quick?!

"Idiot, I told you not to let your guard down!" he scolded me quietly as if Jongin wasn't there watching it all.

"S-sorry," I replied unsureof whether to hug him back or not. "I don't know how it happened..."

Jongin coughed a little to make his presence aware and thats what made Sungwoo release me. He still kept me close to him though as he looked up to face Jongin again just as how they did the day before.

"You found her quick..." Jongin spoke sounding a bit irritated. "I never expected that..."

"It's called a 'find my phone' app," Sungwoo replied in a smart mouth kind of way. Ohhh......so he used a tracking device..

"Why...are you here Jongin," I mustered up my courage to say something. Jongin looked at me with his sharp eyes making me almost flinch, but Sungwoo's presence calmed me.

"I told you, to see you," Jongin replied with no emotion while kicking the ground lightly. "But why is it that there's always this....bug who comes to ruin it..."

"I think you mean black knight," Sungwoo commented with a confident stare. 

"Are you her boyfriend now or something?" Jongin's eyes narrowed dangerously. I could hear the tone in his voice change dramatically.

"No," I replied quickly. "He's not, he's just a co-worker."

"Then why is he touching you like that?" Jongin pointed to Sungwoo's hands that were placed on my shoulders firmly. When I locked eyes with  Jongin again, the love and care that was there a moment ago had completely disappeared. They were now filled with jealousy and lust as the dim bathroom light hit them.

"To protect her from you obviously, we don't know what you'll do next," Sungwoo replied calmly. "In case you hadn't notice Jongin, you're not her boyfriend either. After what you've done to her, I wouldn't want to have anything to do with you. You hurt her. You almost killed her. You put her in danger. It was all you."

Jongin's eyes wavered with insecurity as Sungwoo kept spewing out his words. My hands slowly formed into fists by my side. I was even getting annoyed by Sungwoo's rude comments. I didn't like it when people brought up the past. Especially mine.

"Who are you to say that..." I pushed away from Sungwoo showing how hurt I was with my eyes. "You weren't there....how could you possibly know..."

Sungwoo stared back at me with slight surprise and I could see him cower a little at my strong reaction.

"M-mian..." Sungwoo muttered putting his hands in his pockets. "I didn't mean it like that..."

"See?" Jongin said with annoyance. "He can't protect you right either and I don't see Baekhyun around. So why not me? Why not start over with me Haeun? You know we're perfect for each other. We were perfect, so why not?"

My heart ached as I watched Jongin's expression change again to something more sincere and loving. 

"Just stop..." I muttered feeling irritated. I was so fed up with this little game of us. Who did he think he was kidding? It wasn't fair. He shows up whenever he wants to, he does whatever he wants and then he disappears without saying anything. Just what is he hiding from me?

"I love Baekhyun," I said straightforwardly trying to steady my voice. "He never hurt me...he knows when Im hurt and when I need him....he makes me smile constantly no matter how sad I am....he saw through my fake identity....he saw me for me...You....you were everything I could've ever wanted Jongin...believe me when I say that....but right now...the you who is standing right in front of me is not the person I was once in love with."

Jongin'se face contorted in pain. He seemed like he was losing his mind as I spoke my true feelings. When he looked at me again, his eyes showed emptiness.

"That's not how it's suppose to be..." he mumbled reaching behind him. "You and I...are perfect match...I love you more than he does."

"But I wasn't the one who gave up was I?" I replied back feeling a little part of my heart break. There's a saying that fits with this situation. They say when you love someone, you'll always love them. There is no "friends" because there will always be that little part of your heart who will love him. But. Jongin was my past and Im those type of people who don't like living in the past. Therefore, I let go of him the moment I gained my memories back at the hospital.

"Then no one can have you," he said in a chilling voice that made me shiver and step back towards Sungwoo who was quietly listening and watching. He raised the pistol right at me. "No one else has the right to be with you."
